Hi everyone, I need help launching STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC. I.......... installed the game from the original CDs and downloaded the launcher software, but it won't connect and stays stuck.

Can you help me?

    Hi,  Thanks for the info. I also tried this new launcher, but it crashes at startup while checking for updates and doesn't allow me to log in.  Are there any update patches I can download to connect to new servers?   Or something else?  Thanks

    Post a dxdiag per this guide can check the hardware and software are ok , the launcher is 64bit now and min specs have changed

    OS: Windows 10 or later - 64-bit
    Processor AMD: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better
    Processor Intel: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz or better
    Memory: 6 GB RAM
    Graphics: Star Wars: The Old Republic requires a video card that has a minimum of 1 GB of on-board RAM as well as support for Shader 3.0 or better.
    Examples include:Intel HD 3000 or better/AMD Radeon HD 7450/Nvidia GeForce 610
    Storage: 75 GB available space

    ensure the antivirus and firewall have exceptions for the launcher in the whitelist
